Product Description

The High Sec Labs Secure Peripheral Sharing Switches (PSS) allows the secure sharing of a single set of peripheral components such as keyboard and Mouse/Pointing devices among multiple computers through standard USB interfaces. This KM PSS enables user channel selection through conventional push-buttons and also through mouse cursor tracking function. Cursor tracking function follows the location of the cursor as it crosses the display boundaries. Some evaluated KM PSS also support fUSB function as shown in the table below. This function enables secure connection of various USB devices based on pre-defined whitelist and blacklist.

Analog audio out switching is supported by the KM PSS. Stereo audio signals are passed through audio data diodes to enforce unidirectional flow of audio signals from the selected connected computer to the connected audio peripheral device.

Both fUSB and audio may be switched to a computer other than the one selected for keyboard and mouse through the use of front panel fUSB and audio freeze push-buttons.

Evaluated Configuration

Security Evaluation Summary

The evaluation was carried out in accordance to the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) process and scheme. The evaluation demonstrated that the product meets the security requirements contained in the Security Target. The criteria against which the HSL Secure KM was evaluated are described in the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 3.1, Revision 4. The evaluation methodology used by the evaluation team to conduct the evaluation is the Common Methodology for Information Technology Security Evaluation, Version 3.1, Revision 4. Computer Sciences Corporation determined that the product is conformant to requirements for Peripheral Switch Protection Profile version 3.0.The product satisfies all of the security functional requirements stated in the Security Target. Two validators, on behalf of the CCEVS Validation Body, monitored the evaluation carried out by Computer Sciences Corporation. The evaluation was completed in February 26, 2016. Results of the evaluation can be found in the Assurance Activity Report for HSL Secure KM prepared by CSC Global Cybersecurity.

TOE is controlled and monitored by the user through front panel illuminated push-buttons and switches. TOE also enables user control through mouse cursor tracking function. These controls and indications are coupled to the TOE system controller function.

Tampering protection

Always-on anti-tampering system mechanically coupled to the TOE enclosure to detect and attempt to access the TOE internal circuitry.

TOE is equipped with special holographic Tampering Evident Labels that located in critical location on the TOE enclosure.

Self-testing and Log

TOE is equipped with self-testing function that operating at TOE power up prior to normal use. The self-test function is running independently at each one of the TOE microcontrollers following power up.
